So, here we have a cassette with a total playing time of under 10 minutes. Yes, 5 minutes per side. Meathook Saint is a band/project. I can't find anything about it other than him being active on Reddit. Yes, they/he is German. And except for one, most cassette & digital-only releases have the same layout/branding. As well as it's harsh noise, as harsh noise should be, and yes, I know the difference between harsh noise and HNW.
The first side is called "On Oak Leaves" and has a powerful bass layer coming in halfway through the track. It kinda pushes away the high frequencies that seem to be created by distortion on field recordings - not white noise from a sound generator of all kinds.
The reverse side is entitled "Decomposing", and that one COULD be considered HNW. There is less modulation in the layers; it's a more massive approach in contradiction to side A. To be considered HNW, I also think it should be a longer track. For now, it's more of a Harsh Noise First Brick.
To make a short story long: Next time, please make sure I've got some more material to review and include a little bit of info because, in its roughness, I think I like to know more.
